Good mood in the Belgian team 

 

Pieter Timmers has dropped the individual 200m in favour of the 4x200 and is now extremely pissed of that Louis Croenen won't do the same thing. "Louis always told we have to give everything for the relay, which is the best chance for most of us, but now he is the only one NOT putting anything aside for it..."

 

Timmers: "I don't want to swim the 4x200 heats because I've got the 100 freestyle heats on the same morning, the individual distance in which I have the best chance to reach a high position. Louis doesn't want to swim the relay heats neither because maybe he has the 200 fly final that night...but in the rest of the day he has nothing! He just wants to sleep in..."

 

That's gonna be fun  

[hckošice 15,121]
